Los Partidos Comunistas y Obreros firmantes condenamos enérgicamente los criminales bombardeos ejecutados por Estados Unidos contra la ciudad de Caracas y otras localidades de Venezuela durante la madrugada del 3 de enero. Esta agresión militar imperialista constituye una grave violación de la soberanía de un país independiente y atenta contra los intereses de todos los pueblos de la región.
La operación incluyó la detención violenta e ilegal, el traslado y el encarcelamiento en los Estados Unidos de Nicolás Maduro y de Cilia Flores, un acto inaceptable que anula en la práctica el derecho internacional. En consecuencia, exigimos su inmediata liberación.
Este ataque es la culminación de años de sanciones y bloqueos cuyo objetivo real no es la «democracia» ni la lucha contra el narcotráfico, sino la imposición de los intereses geopolíticos y económicos del imperialismo estadounidense por el control de recursos energéticos y materias primas estratégicas.
De manera cínica, Donald Trump ha declarado que Estados Unidos “gobernará” Venezuela hasta completar una supuesta “transición”, dejando al descubierto su proyecto de control económico, político y militar del continente. Rechazamos esta falsa democracia “delegada” impuesta por la fuerza de las armas. Advertimos que Venezuela es utilizada como un caso ejemplarizante para disciplinar a América Latina y el Caribe.
Exigimos el cese inmediato de la agresión militar, la retirada de las tropas estadounidenses del Caribe y el respeto a la autodeterminación. Asimismo, condenamos las amenazas directas de Marco Rubio contra Cuba y expresamos nuestra solidaridad con el pueblo y el Partido Comunista de Cuba.
¡Proletarios de todos los países, uníos!
DOWN WITH THE IMPERIALIST BOOT IN VENEZUELA AND LATIN AMERICA!
Joint Statement of Communist and Workers’ Parties on the aggression against Venezuela.
The undersigned Communist and Workers’ Parties strongly condemn the criminal bombings carried out by the United States against the city of Caracas and other areas of Venezuela in the early hours of 3 January. This military imperialist attack constitutes a serious violation of the sovereignty of an independent state and is directed against the interests of the people of Venezuela and the region.
The operation included the illegal and violent arrest, transfer, and imprisonment in the USA of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, an unacceptable and reprehensible act that violates every concept of international law. Consequently, we demand his immediate release.
This attack is the culmination of years of sanctions and blockades. The real objective was never «democracy» nor the fight against drug trafficking, but the direct imposition of the geopolitical and economic interests of US imperialism for control over energy resources and strategic raw materials.
In a cynical manner, Donald Trump declared that the United States would «run» Venezuela until a so-called “transition” was completed, exposing a plan for economic, political, and military control over the entire continent. We categorically reject this so-called democracy enforced through the use of armed force. Venezuela is being used as an example to discipline Latin America and the Caribbean.
We demand an immediate end to the military aggression, the withdrawal of US troops from the Caribbean, and respect for self-determination. Furthermore, we condemn the direct threats issued by Marco Rubio against Cuba and express our solidarity with the people and the Communist Party of Cuba.
Proletarians of all countries, unite!
